Pizza Dippers | Back-to-School Recipe

My daughter is back to school and that means I’m back to packing daily lunches! I’m always looking for a new item to send with her to school, but all items have to meet these rules: easy to make, delicious to eat and no nuts (school rule). This Pizza Dippers recipe is perfect! It’s a no-mess way for the kiddos to eat pizza and have fun dipping in the red marinara sauce. There is no better compliment than your little one coming home from school with an empty lunchbox because they LOVED what you packed for them, because let’s face it… preschoolers are picky eaters!

Pizza Dippers

:: INGREDIENTS ::

1 Roll of ready-to-bake pizza crust

1 Package of Turkey Pepperoni’s – Feel free to use any kind of pepperoni!

8 Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

1 Small Jar of Marinara sauce

+Butter/Seasonings

:: DIRECTIONS ::

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

On a lightly greased cookie sheet spread the pizza crust out into a large, thin layer.

Cut the dough into 8 rectangles

Place 4 Turkey Pepperoni’s on the center of each rectangular piece of pizza dough. Four fit nicely, but if your little one LOVES pepperoni… add more! 🙂

Open, and place one cheese stick on each pepperoni layer.

Roll up the dough. Start by bending in each small end to hold in the toppings and then roll up the dough.

Spray down each roll with butter and top with a light layer of seasonings. I like to use Italian Seasoning and Garlic Salt.

Cook your pizza sticks for approximately 10-12 minutes, so that they are golden brown.

Yummy! I like to serve the Pizza Dippers with a side of Marinara Sauce.

The beauty of this recipe is that each bite is a perfect mixture of all of the flavors.

My little preschooler loves to eat them hot or cold. Pizza Dippers are the perfect way to get a great meal into your little picky eater! PLUS it is a great recipe to let your little helper join you in the kitchen. Win-Win!

What toppings are you going to put in your Pizza Dippers? The sky is the limit!

We make a similar recipe but with crescent rolls! Thanks for reminding me of this one – I am bringing it out next week when school starts. I like how it looks with the pizza dough – definitely going to try!
